The yen exchange rate as of 5 pm was 135.42-44 yen, which is 66 yen higher and the dollar weaker than the 5th.



With respect to the euro, the yen appreciated by 2.25 yen and the euro depreciated to 1 euro = 138.92-96 yen compared to the 5th.

Market officials said, "Because of concerns that the supply of natural gas from Russia may be stagnant, the euro, which is a major European currency that is highly dependent on Russia, has been sold. There is also a move to buy US government bonds, which are considered to be relatively safe assets, due to concerns about economic slowdown due to monetary tightening, long-term interest rates have fallen, and the interest rate differential between Japan and the US has narrowed somewhat against the dollar. It led to buying yen. "
